Without Reservation The Making of Americas Most Powerful Indian Tribe and Foxwoods, the Worlds Largest Casino

In 1973, it seemed like the end of the Mashantucket Pequot tribe in Ledyard, CT. But over the next 3 decades, the reservation grew to more than 2,000 acres & became home to Foxwoods, the largest casino in the world, grossing more than $1 billion per year. The Pequots are reborn, immensely wealthy, & in possession of an enormous amount of political influence. Two men resurrected the Pequots & battled the local townspeople & the state gov't. for the right to gamble on their land. A former mob prosecutor brings Malaysian financiers to the table. Reveals the mysterious roots of today's Pequot tribe, the racial tension that divides them, & the power struggle over who will control the tribe's purse strings.Benedict, Jeff is the author of 'Without Reservation The Making of Americas Most Powerful Indian Tribe and Foxwoods, the Worlds Largest Casino', published 0009 under ISBN 9780756754273 and ISBN 0756754275.
